The Director of the National Investigation Bureau (NIB), Nana Attobrah Quaicoe, has voluntarily decided to return a parcel of state land he unlawfully acquired.
This was revealed by private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu during an interview on an Accra-based TV station, monitored by Happyghana.com. According to Kpebu, the NIB Director personally contacted Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, chairman of the government’s Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL), to communicate his decision.
“The director of the NIB, Mr. Nana Attobrah Quaicoe called our chairman, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa to inform him that he was willing to relinquish his parcel of land in the agri-mechanisation lands area which are practically opposite the El Wak Stadium,” he said.
The parcel of land in question is located in the agri-mechanization lands area, opposite the El Wak Stadium in Accra. Martin Kpebu pointed out significant irregularities in the rezoning process for the land, describing it as fundamentally flawed and procedurally invalid.
ORAL, established by President John Dramani Mahama on December 18, 2024, is tasked with recovering state properties and assets unlawfully acquired by individuals, particularly under previous administrations.
The five-member team, led by Okudzeto Ablakwa, is committed to promoting accountability and restoring public confidence in the management of state assets.
